Barnsley Footballer scores with new Gateway Plaza penthouse

Barnsley’s premier address, Plaza Quarter at Gateway Plaza, has become home to Barnsley Football Club’s latest signing, Goran Lovre, who has moved into a stunning 3 bedroom penthouse within the newly completed development.

The attacking Serbian midfielder joined Barnsley FC on a 2 year contract this May from FC Groningen in Holland where he had played since 2006 after working his way through the youth set in Anderlecht. After moving to Barnsley Goran was on the look-out for a new home and having viewed the show apartments at Gateway Plaza, selected the luxury scheme as his home.

Goran stayed in the development’s new Premier Inn hotel while his penthouse was fitted-out with the latest furnishings and mod-cons and has now moved in on a rental basis with the option to purchase.

Speaking of his move Goran said; “I was really impressed with the Plaza Quarter at Gateway Plaza and immediately knew that a penthouse would be perfect for me. There is plenty of room and the large balconies provide lots of outside space with good views across the town. It is also important for me to be near the bars, shops and restaurants. I have met lots of great people through staying at the hotel. Everyone has made me feel very welcome and Barnsley is already starting to feel like home. “

Goran joins a host of tenants all enjoying apartment living in Barnsley for the first time within the 188 apartments at the development. Apartments are available for purchase, rental, rent-to-buy and also through the innovative HomeBuy Direct scheme. Also within Gateway Plaza is the 96,000sq ft office building, the Premier Inn hotel, Glass House late bar and Table Table restaurant, the Health Centre and large 548 space car park.

Chris Gilman, Director of Landmark Development Projects, joint developer of Gateway Plaza with Quest Property, said; “We are delighted that we were able to assist Goran with his move to Barnsley. The rent-to-buy option that we offer here at Plaza Quarter is ideal for people who are moving to the town, or trying out apartment living, for the first time. We are delighted with how well the sales and lettings are progressing just a few weeks after the whole scheme has been completed. We hope that Goran and all of our tenants will be very happy in their new homes.”
